Minor amateur ice hockey team that seems to no longer exist since 2009, but has been article tag'd with needing cleanup, since Dec 2008 and additional WP:V sources since April 2013, but no main work has been done to article for donks. scope_creep ([[User talk:scope_creep|talk] 03:31, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and shovel the dirt over it: This is an amateur rec league team, according to its (last updated two years ago) FB site. The links in the article are broken, and there are zero Google News hits, never mind any which would fail WP:ROUTINE. Hell, there aren't any hits on the Irish Google: [1]

Delete minor-league teams generally don't merit articles in the first place, but this draft does not meet even the minimum requirements of GNG. Primefac (talk) 11:06, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Mmm, I'll pick a point here: minor league teams are almost always highly notable, with hundreds or thousands of sources which satisfy the GNG, the tendency of certain sports WikiProjects to disparage the minors as worthless notwithstanding. This, however, wasn't a minor league team -- it would have to had climbed up several rungs to get that far. This appears to have been a beer league squad.

You're right on both counts. I was thinking minor league players such as in football or rugby. Primefac (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom and above comments. Nothing to show notability for a club team. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:34, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
